Moen Jo Daro, Sindh Part 3 By Aziz Sanghur.flv

Moen Jo Daro was one of the largest city-settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization, located in the province of Sindh Pakistan. Built around 2600 BCE, the city was one of the early urban settlements in the world, existing at the same time as the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Crete. It was built around 2600 BCE and abandoned around 1900 BCE. It was rediscovered in 1922 by Rakhaldas Bandyopadhyay, an officer of the Archaeological Survey of India. He was led to the mound by a Buddhist monk, who believed it to be a stupa. In the 1930s, massive excavations were conducted under the leadership of John Marshall, K. N. Dikshit, Ernest Mackay, and others. John Marshall's car, which was used by the site directors, is still in the Mohenjo-daro museum, showing their struggle and dedication to Moen Jo Daro. Further excavations were carried out in 1945 by Ahmad Hasan Dani and Mortimer Wheeler.
